SIGIR Student Travel Grant
SIGIR is pleased to offer Student Travel Grants for students presenting their accepted contributions at WSDM 2026.
To be eligible, the student must: (1) be an author of an accepted contribution, (2) be the one presenting the accepted contribution, and (3) be a SIGIR member (SIGIR student travel grants are only open to SIGIR members).
Please note that these awards are competitive, meaning not every applicant will receive a grant. We will give priority to students presenting accepted contributions during the doctoral consortium and on the main conference tracks, students from underrepresented countries, and students who have not received a grant in the past.
To be considered for a grant, students must submit an application, and their academic advisor must complete a statement of support. A link to the advisor’s statement will be sent directly as soon as the student provides all the necessary information in their application.
For awardees, the grant will cover the cost of registration and also a stipend of USD1200 towards travel and accommodation costs.
Important dates
- Award Application Submission Deadline: December 2, 2025
- Award Acceptance Notification: December 11, 2025
All deadlines are 11:59 pm anywhere on earth
If you want to apply, please do not register for the conference just yet as SIGIR Awards cannot reimburse you for the registration. If awarded a grant, you will receive a code for a registration fee waiver.
